Gerresheimer AG, one of the leading partners to the pharma and healthcare industry worldwide, has reached an agreement with Nemera Development S.A. to acquire 100% of the share capital of Centor US Holding Inc. The purchase price amounts to USD725m on a cash free and debt free basis and will be fully debt financed.

Cron (Finance, both Frankfurt) and Matthias Blaum (Capital Markets, Düsseldorf) as well as associates Sabine Albrecht (Finance, Frankfurt) and Gerrit Forst (Capital Markets, Düsseldorf).
